Customer Story

MetroPCS

MetroPCS Communications is one of the nation’s leading providers of flat-rate, no-annual-contract, unlimited wireless communications service. MetroPCS operates more than 150 company-owned stores, and approximately 4,500 independent authorized dealer locations (“doors”). For MetroPCS, a lack of one-on-one contact with the thousands of employees hired directly by the dealer doors made it difficult to provide timely, relevant training. While the company operated an online university designed to give sales associates access to product, rate plan, and selling skills information, the learning management system (LMS) used to create and run the university was both unreliable and limited in its functionality. Even worse, the online university vendor’s customer service was woefully inadequate, and as the system lacked a way to identify end users, MetroPCS couldn’t reliably track which associates were accessing and completing training and how training was affecting sales.MetroPCS Communications is one of the nation’s leading providers of flat-rate, no-annual-contract, unlimited wireless communications service.

Planning and partnership leads to simplified talent management for New Zealand’s most paw-pular pet care brand

New Zealand’s most popular pet care brand and leading pet company, Animates and Animates Vetcare, has been in the market for more than 20 years, growing its operations to 45 stores, 28 grooming salons and almost 20 vet clinics. It employs more than 900 people including veterinary professionals, groomers and specialist full-time and casual retailers. Animates continues to grow at a strong pace, even through economic challenges, as they help people do what is best for their pets and their wallets. Animates’ HR toolkit, including their recruitment process and L&D, was not keeping pace with the accelerated growth of the business.
